Welcome to my blog! I have been learning Japanese for several years now, and my goal is to be able to read novels in Japanese. I passed N1 in July 2019, and I spend most of my study time learning vocabulary and grammar and reading novels in Japanese. I can read genre fiction (I particularly love mystery novels), but my level is still too low to allow me to read literary fiction. There’s still a lot of work to be done, and my blog is here to help me in my journey!

Japanese names

On this blog, Japanese names are written (in English) with the first name first and the family name last.
